WARRENSBURG – Matt Daly of South Glens Falls dreamed as early as 7th grade of becoming an artist, and today, years later, he takes satisfaction in progress toward that goal
and revels in the pleasure painting gives him. "When I'm painting, it feels like I'm where I
should be; in exactly the right place. I like to open to areas of ideas and emotions that rise
from a depth that can only be accessed in this way. I am driven by what comes out...what I
am after is an experience that is authentic, moving and takes me someplace I haven't been
before." One of the places Daly hasn't been before is Willows Bistro in Warrensburg, where
his new exhibit of works in acrylics and mixed media will be on display for the month of
May. For more information, call 518-504-4344. (A)

(NAPSI)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;There are lots of gifts you can get the mom in your life for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, but spending time with her is likely the gift sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love the
most. Hosting a movie night for your mother or wife can be a great way to have a fun, relaxing eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to make reservations.
A bottle of perfume will eventually get used up but you and your loved one can treasure the memory of time spent together for years to come.
How to Plan a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Movie Night

Take time to catch up with Mom: Use movie night as an opportunity to spend some quality time with the mom in your house. Before the movie
starts, ask about her favorite films of all time and her favorite actors and actresses. Share your own list of must-see movies and talk about your
celebrity crushes. Most importantly, remember to tell her how much she means to you. And get ready for a fun flick.

Prepare movie-watching snacks: Pick out some fun food to enjoy while you kick back on the couch. Order in from a favorite restaurant or prepare
her favorite meal. Pop some popcorn and select classic movie theater candy to enjoy while you watch.

Pick out a movie sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to love: A romantic comedy can be a great movie choice for a night at your own home theater. The funny and warm
â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve,â&#x20AC;? available now from Warner Bros. on Blu-ray disc and DVD, is a movie that will make moms smileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and wipe away a tear.

forms, between mother and daughter, friends and family, old flames and fresh starts.

City on that most dazzling night of the year. With an all-star cast including Hilary Swank, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker and Josh Duha
